Medela Calma, innovative pacifier (without bottle)

How does a child feed at the breast?

• During our latest research, it was discovered that the vacuum plays a key role in the infant's ability to suckle successfully.
• Babies learn that there is no instant reward, and with a combination of tongue and jaw movements, they develop a unique way of feeding. They have to make a good effort in order for sucking to be successful.
• If they use a regular bottle with a pacifier, it's quite different. Mothers naturally want their children to receive the precious milk that they have carefully expressed in the healthiest and best possible way.
• Medela always keeps this in mind when offering innovative solutions.

Revolutionary innovation! 

• The usual pacifier forces the infant to change his natural way of feeding. Even if the child is not actively sucking, the milk flows freely, and the infant somehow has to stop the flow of milk in order to rest and breathe.
• To prevent this, we developed a new feeding solution: Calma.
• With Calma, milk only flows if the child makes an effort to create a vacuum that will draw the milk out. This allows a unique sucking technique to be applied to Calma.

• that she only needs one type of pacifier during the entire breastfeeding period.
• that the child can eat, rest and breathe properly.
• that the milk will not flow unless a vacuum is created.
• that the flow of milk will stop when the infant relaxes to rest or breathe.
• that the natural rhythm of her child's sucking will be maintained and that he will return to the breast without difficulty.
